Community Tasting Notes 4

  June 8, 2021 - A perfect Monday evening sipper, with fresh and salivating yellow citrus and white melon rind notes that hop around the palate, finishing with a soft limestone flavor that adds interest. There’s nothing overly academic or romantic here, but it’s a fun friend zone Chablis that makes for the perfect accompaniment to tofu and mixed vegetable wraps.
  
  Sealed with a synthetic closure. Drink now and over the next few years.

  March 28, 2020 - An easy drinker with a decent QPR. Medium weighted and quasi-rich notes of lemon curd and lemon juice dominate. A touch more simple than its sibling Montmains VV (which I prefer a little more comparatively), the Mont de Milieu still performed as expected. Medium speed and a little lower in tension - especially next to a 2018 Piuze Sechets 1er Chablis served next to it.
  
  Drink the Malandes MdM now and over the coming 5 years. 91+ points with a chance to earn some additional complexity in a year or two (though the lack of tension here may be a reference for an earlier drinking window). Likely sooner than later for my palate.

  August 4, 2018 - At restaurant Seb in Mont Tremblant. Pale color, nose of oyster shells, lemon rind, American Smarties. Good acid on palate, hint of oak smoke and a hint of butter (so maybe it’s been in oak?).
  
  Big upside surprise. Bought without searching on my phone. So pre-2015.
